Abstract

A suspension assembly for a wheeled conveyance comprises suspension arms (35, 37) pivotably mounted on a chassis (1) and extending in forward and rearward directions in the region of opposite sides of the chassis. Each suspension arm has a wheel (43, 45) rotatably mounted at the free end thereof. Spring means (51) is disposed in the region of each side of the chassis and acts between the forwardly and rearwardly extending suspension arms (35, 37) in such a way that the free ends thereof tend to pivot towards each other. According to the invention, means (69, 59) is provided for limiting lateral movement of the suspension arms (35, 37) relative to each other.
